August 11, 2008: Scottie Tries to Make it To Space

Did anyone else read about how the shuttle that was taking James Doohan’s ashes into space failed to make it into space (again). Poor Scottie. That just sucks.

Apparently this is a blow to privately funded space travel. Elliot Musk (started then sold ebay) owned the rocket. The company (Musk’s company) that organized the mission and the launch is called Space X.

I’m not so sure we’re less than 15-20 years before space travel becomes the play thing of the rich (that’s a joke).
